* I am linking to the same thing at the regular Amazon site, and at AmazonSmile. When you shop at AmazonSmile, half a percent of your purchase price on eligible items goes to a non-profit you choose. It will feel just like shopping at Amazon: you’ll be using your same account. The one thing for you that is different is that you pick a non-profit the first time you go (which you can change whenever you want)…and the good feeling you’ll get. Shop ’til you help!

Thanks to your blog I was able to pick up a set of fantasy books (14) for 99 cents for my wife for Christmas. Speaking of which I wonder how others wrap digital books? Bufo, when giving people you actually encounter eBook’s for Christmas do you wrap them?

For my wife and anyone else that I actually exchange gifts with I email the gift to myself, print it, and wrap it. As I’m sure you know, Amazon has it set up where you can add a to: and from: and message: to the gift. I print it out, then cut out the actual rectangular gift part that explains what the gift is (cover picture included)

Then I use imagination. This is where I was wondering what others have come up with. This year I was about to throw away the empty paper towel inner cardboard thing when it hit me. I could roll the book certificate up in that, then wrap it. I am also using a standard small box to wrap one for my wife. That will be weighed down with some deodorant and things I won’t need till after Christmas in order to make her think it’s something heavier and also rattles. Last year I got out my old Kindle 1 Box (my favorite all-time product placement box), put the certificate inside, and wrapped it. I am also using one of my wife’s dead tree book. I’ll put the certificate inside the cover and wrap it. Just curious if others might wrap their eBooks.

Thanks so much for the insight. I only follow one blog and you should be proud of what you have accomplished. Thanks again for the tips and entertainment for all of 2014.

I’m glad you got a good gift! There were quite a few very inexpensive indies (independently published) books on the list, but I thought that for what I was writing, that wouldn’t impress people as much.🙂 I wanted widely recognized books on sale, rather than books that might always be inexpensive and weren’t as well known.

On the wrapping…I do tend to have it sent to me and wrap it. It’s funny, I don’t go for the “disguise” wrapping so much. I used to do that…I had some very elaborate wrappings, along the lines of what you suggest. Now, though, I don’t worry that much about them trying to guess what it is.
